KAT-TUN’s Love Yourself ~ Kimi Ga Kirai Na Kimi Ga Suki

by Fiona

I just started watching the live-action of Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and have become addicted to the themesong. It’s been playing non-stop since last night and probably going to be another favorite.

Love Yourself ~ Kimi Ga Kirai Na Kimi Ga Suki is a fabulous song despite its overuse of autotone. I find this aspect to be quite fitting for the heroine of the drama, Nakahara Sunako. Its metro, fast paced melody along with the encouraging lyrics adds charismatic to the composition. I especially like chorus, though, the rap portion doesn’t make sense once again.

May I say Kame looks very attractive in the drama, much more built and healthier than his Sapuri days.

Love yourself ~Kimi ga kirai na kimi ga suki~
(Love yourself ~I love this you that you hate~)

Lyrics: JOKER
Composer: Tatsugoo

Romaji and English Lyrics:

Kisetsu wa mata meguri mekurumeku machi
Daremo kimi no koto wo ki ni tomezu mawaru
Sonna no dou demo ii
Tada kimi ga soba ni ireba ii

Seasons go round again, a dazzling city
Everyone passes oblivious of you
That’s it, you shouldn’t care
It’s ok as long as you’re by my side

Arashi – Once Again

by Fiona

How in the world did I miss this song??? Really, I’ve must have been living in my own little world when Dream-A-Live was released and probably, I didn’t bother to download the RE.

Once Again is simply pure awesomeness! Without doubt, it has become an instant favorite of mine! I love the dark composition along with smooth vocals of the boys, in perfect harmony. The rap sequence is arranged nicely just prior to the last chorus, fabulously sang by Sho-kun as always.

I would love to see this one live…unfortunately, the Dream-A-Live concert DVD has not been released yet. Mostly likely, it never will! Fancam, anyone??? Hopefully, the boy will have it arranged in a future one, let’s all pray!!

This is such an awesome fanvideo, the song fits perfectly with the scenes.

Here are the Kanji and English lyrics:

Once Again
Lyrics：Wonderland
Rap: Sakurai Sho
Music : Alfred Tuohey & Thanh Bui

もう一度　僕らは今　動き出した未来へ
漕ぎ出せ　胸に想い刻み込んで
つかみ取れるさ　手を伸ばせば　まだ
忘れていた　夢がそこにある

Once again, we’re moving towards the future now.
Starting to row, engraving the feelings in my heart.
I can reach out if I extend my hands,
the forgotten dreams are still there.

僕らずっと飛べなくて　空見上げ眺めてた
何にも出来ず当てもなく　ただ探し続けたあの頃

We can never fly, we look up to the sky.
Unable to do anything, without aim, we continued to search back then.

Kanjani8’s Sakura Uta – Oh!Enka

by Fiona

I’m sharing another fave of me, Oh!Enka by Kanjani8. You know those fun crazy boys from Kansai.

I really like the historical context of the lyrics along with the mixture of enka and modern melodies. The hint of conservative-ism adds a local flair to the song — the boys’ love for their hometown, Osaka. Overall, the song is very catchy and genki, you feel so cheerful after listening to.

Here are the lyrics in Romaji and English:

Nande yaro naa…sakura miteru to, metcha setsuna nan nen
Oton, okan…ore mo itsuka wa
Shikkari hana sakashitaru kara na! Mitoite ya!

I wonder why…when I look at the cherry blossoms, it’s so bittersweet
Dad, Mom…someday
I’ll bloom, too! Just watch!
